Dear Pool

Dear Pool,
I did not want you at first.
I did NOT want to worry about my kids falling into you,
or worry about keeping you clean,
or put money toward supporting your chemical addiction.
And truthfully, who thought you'd actually be used??
Come on ... this is Michigan not L.A.!

But let's be honest, you have saved the day
(think hot and muggy Michigan summers)
... more than once.
And now I'm not sure how I'll survive
another summer without you.
Thank you pool.
You are the best!
I'll miss you when we're gone.

Love,
Jean (Gage and Sunny's mom)

AMEN! I feel the exact same way, I couldn't survive in AZ without our beloved pool. ENJOY!

My kids would love to have a pool! Our neighborhood clubhouse will eventually have one behind it but who knows when that will happen. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that last picture of Sunny.
